Social mobility - for our students and for the children who are eventually in their care.

Supporting learners through their individualised journeys. Adapting for the needs of all and supporting student teachers to grow and reach their full potential.

For me teacher education is about a vibrant, joyful community who are passionate about working with children.

Teacher education is about creating the right environment for student teachers to grow - appreciating that different student teachers require different (amounts of) support and may grow at different rates

We are just the beginning, but not really the beginning because water is constantly recycled and our student teachers come to us with their own story. The knowledge we generate is the drops that land in the large expanse of water, creating ripple effects that reach far beyond us.

The wonders of educating the whole person, giving them opportunities to go beyond the usual remits of the course, expand horizons, offer endless possibilities, nationally and internationally

Finding the joy in learning, championing the importance of all subjects in the curriculum - this student graduated last year and emailed recently to say she’d completed her first Ofsted and had been recognised as a strong EYFS ECT - she said she wouldn’t be the teacher she is now without the BAPEYE team.

This photo was taken at the beginning of the course in September last year, at the start of their journey as teachers. This represents collaboration, joy, stepping outside of their comfort zones, curiosity…

Okay, so 99.9% of the time I feel ITE is about community, caring, inclusive and inspiring - all to enable the best possible outcomes for our children and young people. But, look at the eyes, the EYES! There are challenges and complexities, so we always need to stay one step ahead, and stay together.

Our aim is to keep our student teachers safe, steer them in the right direction, leaving them free to roam knowing that we are a sanctuary and will be there for them to come back to if they need support. Staying steady in all weathers.

The landscape of ITE (and/or ITT) has become increasingly complex with ever increasing routes to QTS. They all have the same aim...and most routes get them over the bridge in the end.

Meeting the student teachers where they're at, butterfly effect, meetings students where they're at.

What we do in ITE is all about partnership. Our web stretches wide. It could be seen as fragile but it is strong and quite beautiful. It’s all about connection and interconnection.

# data[].attributes.body
It is about the student teachers - showing them how to bring the subject to life and demonstrating how to inspire students to have a love for our subject.

What ITE means to me… when I trainee our tutor asked us to pick a pebble from a tray.  This represents how we are part of a complex but rewarding and challenging profession and we will need to guide our student teachers through this before letting them go free and explore

Seeing the EY's teachers and the children they work with grow in confidence. Moments on a visit to an outdoor kindergarden made me realise the impact there is amongst the EY's community.

Becoming teachers of young people - sharing ideas, being reflective, stepping out of comfort zones, working together, supporting each other.

It's a patch of blue sky among the clouds - a reminder to find the joy in every day through the eyes of those keen to join the profession, when it would be easy to get bogged down in all sorts of things happening on the education world.

Life long communities of teachers. Keeping our alumni connected. They stay friends, but stay learning as well.

Change. The opportunity and privilege to work alongside  people as they become educators across the ITE year.

Teacher development and knowledge growth is what its all about for me! Here is a drawing a trainee did on the first day of the course showing what type of history teacher she wanted to be. The right hand drawing is the same student on the last day of the course. It just shows the growth in terms of pedagogic content knowledge and general professional knowledge.

For me, ITE is about getting to know the students as an individual, and understanding each person has specific needs. With the support and nurturing from the teaching staff, everyone blossoms into a confident and unique teacher. 

# data[].attributes.body
It's all about partnership and connectedness. We are a web of connections across the partnership. A web could be seen as weak, but it is strong in its relationships and impact - quite beautiful too.

Cutting a diamond

ITE is taking student teachers from a rough uncut diamond with lots of spiky moments with lesson plans, behaviour management, support plans to the finished polished product all sparkly and reflective with excellent pedagogy practice and cohesive group.
